URSULA EDELGARD BONGARTZ (nee SCHMIDT)
Died surrounded by family at Lisaard House on August 7, 2024, after a long fight with CHF. Predeceased by her beloved husband Werner. Survived by her three daughters and their husbands: Brigitte and James Huber, Doris Bongartz and Richard Laforet, and Ingrid Bongartz and Jeff Joslin. Loving Oma to many grandchildren and great-grandchildren: Jessica and Ryan Wilhelm, their children Julia, Ethan, Isabel, and Zachary; Ryan and Sarah Huber, their children Kaleigh and Daniel; Amy Huber, her son Beau; Anita Huber; Derek Laforet; Nicholas Laforet; and Gray Joslin.
Soon after their marriage in 1957, Ursula and Werner left Germany to start their new lives in KW. Together they built Pawer Limited, where Ursula served as trusted advisor and took care of administrative responsibilities for more than forty years. Ursula was a talented cook and amazing baker who made sure her guests were impressed and stuffed after her festive gatherings. Her cakes, tortes, and other baked creations were the highlights of Sunday afternoon Kaffeeklatsches. In later years, Ursula and Werner travelled the world, collecting stories and souvenirs along the way. No description of Ursula’s life would be complete without recalling her passion for clothing, jewelry, and shoes. Whenever she stepped out the door, she was always perfectly manicured, beautifully coiffed, and elegantly dressed.
Thank you to the staff at Lisaard House who were so attentive in her final days, and to Brigitte, Doris, and the PSWs, especially Sara, who cared for her in recent years. Cremation arrangements are entrusted to Henry Walser Funeral Home, Kitchener. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Ursula spoke her mind and fought fiercely right up to the end. May she now rejoin Werner and rest in peace.
